How many times do we refer to something as a
pain in the neck? Ever call your job a pain in the
neck? (Be honest! Johnson Chiropractic won’t tell
your boss!) Certain work tasks
could well be a pain
in the neck…factually. Some easy exercises and Richmond
chiropractic care can relieve your neck pain gently and successfully.
PAIN IN THE NECK OFFICE WORK
Researchers have a formal name for your job’s
pain in the neck problem - work-related neck-shoulder pain. Adding
motor control training and ergonomic workspace modification counsel
for workplace motions and postures lead to
positive and sustainable advantage in reducing
shoulder pain and neck pain. (1) Adding stretching exercises to the daily
routine lessened neck and shoulder pain and improved
neck function and quality of life for office workers with chronic
moderate-to-severe neck pain or shoulder pain. This study reported
that the extra training in how to do neck
and shoulder stretches twice daily every work
day (5 days a week) really helped in the month long
program. Further, those who performed the exercises less than 3 times
per week reported less improvement than those who did
them more than 3 times a week. Performing the neck and shoulder
exercises better improved neck function and these patients’ quality
of life scores. And this study was with chronic neck pain and shoulder pain
patients, those who have experienced neck and shoulder pain
for more than three months and ranked their pain as 5 or
more on a a 10 point scale with 10 as the number
for the worst pain. (2) Imagine what benefit
these kinds of exercises could do for early stage neck and shoulder
pain office-working patients! Johnson Chiropractic has the neck exercises for
